Introduction to Linux - A Hands on Guide

This guide was created as an overview of the Linux Operating System, geared toward new users as an exploration tour and getting started guide, with exercises at the end of each chapter.
For more advanced trainees it can be a desktop reference, and a collection of the base knowledge needed to proceed with system and network administration. This book contains many real life examples derived from the author's experience as a Linux system and network administrator, trainer and consultant. They hope these examples will help you to get a better understanding of the Linux system and that you feel encouraged to try out things on your own.

This is the problem I ran into:
1. I have Debian (sarge) penguin and Debian (etch) penguin.
2. One of the tex source file does not go through pdflatex on etch. with sarge, no error.
3. Error message is

>pdflatex -v
pdfeTeX using libpoppler 3.141592-1.21a-2.2 (Web2C 7.5.4)

2. One of the tex source file does not go through pdflatex on etch. with sarge, no error.
3. Error message is

Code:

! LaTeX Error: Unknown option `contnav' for package `pp4slide'.

My guess is that sarge and etch have different versions of pp4slide. Don't think it has to do with search paths...
Try copying pp4slide.sty from sarge over to etch to check this (just to make that clear, that's not a clean solution and will probably produce other errors).
